Develop Blueprint

With the content domain defined, appropriate weights need to be applied to reflect the relative content coverage for each area guided by purpose of the exam. Test developers, subject matter experts, and psychometricians work together to develop an exam blueprint during a workshop, via a survey, or both. The resulting blueprint is used to determine the relative balance of items/tasks across content areas for each exam administration as well as being use as a guide to develop content.
